Junior-college transfer who led Cincinnati with 58 receptions and 860 yards and tied for the team lead with five receiving touchdowns in his 2016 debut season. Caught 28 passes for 444 yards and three scores as a senior.

Pos:

One-time highly rated receiver coming off a disappointing campaign. Smooth, fluid and agile. Quickly gets into breaks, stays low and has a burst exiting routes. Uses his frame to shield away defenders and protect the pass, extends his hands and makes receptions away from his frame. Solid vertical receiver who tracks the pass in the air and easily makes deep catches in stride. Displays soft and quick hands. Effective running after the catch. Gives effort blocking downfield.

Neg:

Marginally productive and was never a big part of Cincinnati’s passing game. Lacks a second gear and get-up-and-go speed.

Analysis:

Since transferring from junior college, Gray was solid for the Bearcats and flashed next-level potential. He comes with a great amount of upside but will need time to harness his skill and must step up his production.
